Generate a new frame for command-line entry.

<H3>Usage:</H3>
   <BLOCKQUOTE>
      <B>addcommandentry</B> <I>framename</I> <BR><BR>
      <BLOCKQUOTE>
         where <I>framename</I> is the Tk pathname of a frame.

<H3>Summary:</H3>
   <BLOCKQUOTE>
      The <B>addcommandentry</B> command is used with the GUI wrapper in
      magic version 7.3.  It adds a narrow text entry frame to the bottom
      of the window.  This frame duplicates the output of the Tk console,
      and can be used as an alternative console from which to enter 
      command-line commands.  The <I>framename</I> is the Tk path name
      of the frame holding the layout window.  By default these are
      named <B>.layout1</B>, <B>.layout2</B>, etc., for each call to
      <B>openwrapper</B>. <P>

      The command entry window has a prompt with the name of the Tk frame,
      e.g., "<TEXT color=brown><TT>layout1&gt;</TT></TEXT>", and all
      window commands entered into this area will be relative to the
      associated layout window.
   </BLOCKQUOTE>

<H3>Implementation Notes:</H3>
   <BLOCKQUOTE>
      <B>addcommandentry</B> is implemented as a Tcl procedure defined
      in the GUI wrapper script.  It is only available when the wrapper
      is used, that is, when <B>magic</B> is invoked with argument <B>-w</B>.
